Scott Tweedie

Background: Scott Tweedie is a versatile singer-songwriter. His warm voice and mellow, heartfelt songwriting style have received many respectful comparisons to Cat Stevens, Neil Young,and Nick Drake. He colors his soundscapes with many instruments, not the least being his trumpet.Scott, playing trumpet for The Others and The Karma Sutra Band, opened for Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and The North Mississippi All-Stars at Brookhaven Amphitheater on Long Island. Scott's voice and trumpet playing are featured on the most recent album by Slang, "More Talk About Tonight," a masterpiece of all-star collaboration including David Schools (Widespread Panic), Matt Abts(Gov't Mule), DJ Logic, Lori Carson(Golden Palominos), and the album's producer/engineer Layng Martine III(who has worked with Bill Laswell extensively). Scott's muted trumpet playing is also featured on Lori Carson's 2004 release, "The Finest Thing." Another outstanding project Scott is a part of is Centauri System, an all instrumental duo co-produced with Brandon Burdon. Centauri System highlights Scott's trumpet and multi-instrumental performance with music that..."brought tears to his mother's eyes." Starship Stereo Exponential, another cohesive duo co-produced with Jay Dadarria, has enough material for a full length album to be released. Their mystical sound has already touched the hearts of many. Scott Tweedie has been honored with Raven Hawk Production's prestigious Silver Arrow Award for outstanding achievement in music for 2003 and 2004. Several of Scott's songs have received primetime radio play on Long Island's Stony Brook radio station 90.1 WUSB. Anyone who has heard his music knows it has the potential to reach far and wide. Scott recently received an honorable mention in the ISSA Songwriting Competition songcontest.issa-music.org/honorable_mention.htm With styles ranging from meditative instrumentals to touching folk ballads to eclectic spirit-filled journeys,there is a continuum in his music which reaches the souls of his listeners and leaves them feeling calm, peaceful, and hopeful. Scott weaves a sympathetic vibration with music that is much needed in today's world. "Scott's voice is soulful and resonant." ---Layng Martine III "Whatever instrument he chooses--guitar, muted trumpet, Native American flute, harmonica--he seems to journey deep within himself, which invites listeners to do the same. What makes Tweedie unique is the intimacy of his performance...In Tweedie's music the world seems vast and at the same time unified, as old as creation, yet constantly reborn." ---Lisa Cowley, The Independent Newspaper, Long Island Instrumentation Scott Tweedie-Guitar/Vocals/Harmonica/Trumpet/Piano/Native American Flute/Pedal Steel/Percussion Discography Scott Tweedie - Distant Journeys - Debut LP Orient Point Sessions - Vinyl 45 Seeking Vision(Upcoming Album) Links http://www.myspace.com/scotttweedie
